Chapter 67: How about marrying Dongfang Yu

"Father, even if I'm a girl, I'm better than any man, right?" Mu Xue yelled unhappily.

Xi Muxue seemed offended when she heard what her father said.

"Dad, why don't you go and discuss the matter with Dongfang Mo? Tell him about our family's proposed marriage between me and Dongfang Yu. Otherwise, if the Xi family suffers, the Dongfang family will also be implicated. Tell him not to forget that his shares in the underground casino are more than the Xi family's. Now that Kuang Yingying knows about it, Mayor Kuang will probably find out soon, right?" Mu Xue said.

"Mu Xue, do you think it's a good idea to marry Dongfang Yu? I heard that he's a loafer," Du Xinyue asked.

Du Xinyue was a woman after all. At the most crucial moment, she was not thinking about the Xi family's future but about her daughter's lifelong happiness.

"Mom, of course it's a good idea to marry Dongfang Yu."

Xi Muxue looked so infatuated as she talked about Dongfang Yu.

"He's very handsome, like a prince. He has developed some bad habits because no one cares about him. I believe that if he marries me, he'll soon restrain himself. Under my guidance, he will slowly enter the Dongfang Corporation. Many of the assets and properties in the Dongfang Corporation will belong to him sooner or later. It can't possibly belong to that good-for-nothing Dongfang Mo. Moreover, I've heard that Dongfang Mo has extensive burns all over his body and is said to suffer from skin cancer. He probably has only two years left to live. There's also that Dongfang Jun. Although he takes his mother's surname, Dongfang, he's not a child of the Dongfang family after all."

Xi Yuancheng was impressed. "Aiyo, my Mu Xue is really smart and bold. She has already asked around and thought of everything."

Actually, Xi Yuancheng did not want Mu Xue to continue ranting. He turned to look at his wife.

He said, "See? The fortune teller wasn't wrong. Mu Xue is our family's lucky star. Not only will she bring fortune to our family, she can also think of ways to fix dire situations like this, unlike that jinx."

Mu Ru had quietly walked out the door when Xi Yuancheng was praising his precious daughter. Since they had already laid out their plans, there was no point in her being there anymore.

When Mother Wang saw her walk out of the house, she immediately rushed to Mu Ru to send her off.

She pulled Mother Wang's hand and gave her a check for five hundred thousand yuan. It was in the red envelope that Xi Yuancheng had given her after she had married. She originally wanted to give it to Xi Yuancheng, but she realized that it was no longer necessary.

"Mother Wang, I might not return to the Xi family in the future," she said.

Mu Ru's voice cracked as she held back her tears. She held Mother Wang's hand tightly in her palm and said in a trembling voice, "Mother Wang, I don't want to return to the Xi family anymore."

She continued, "Mother Wang, you should go too. Take this money and open a small supermarket or dry cleaning shop. I'll go there to see you."

"Mu Ru..."

Mother Wang was so emotional that her eyes were brimming with tears. After a while, she finally managed to speak.

"Okay. I understand. I'll resign in a few days. When everything is done, I'll call you."

After bidding farewell to Mother Wang, Mu Ru left. She walked for a long distance until she reached a corner. She looked back and saw a slightly short figure still watching her from the entrance of the courtyard. She knew that it was Mother Wang, who truly loved her.

It was already nighttime when she arrived at the Dongfang family home. Dongfang Mo was not around, but Dongfang Yu, whom she had not seen for a long time, appeared in the living room. When he saw her, he was slightly stunned. He smiled and shouted, "Sister-in-Law, are you back from school?"

He stared at Mu Ru, who seemed sad and melancholic.
